What if – and I’ll leave the exact circumstance up to the reader’s imagination – Edward had somehow found a way to become human in order to be with Bella, instead of the other way around? What if Renesmee was a normal human child – normal for a prodigy, anyway? This is just a glimpse at what that life might be like.

Bella and Alice have been friends with benefits for ten years. When they meet Edward and Jasper, they find their missing peices. How will their families deal with their relationships? NC-17 for Lots of lemons: E/B, A/J, B/J, A/E, A/B, E/J, E/B/A/J

Bella Swan, an experienced midwife at Forks Hospital meets the new obstetrician, Edward Cullen and the attraction is instant.

As their hands touched, she gasped softly as she felt the shock of electricity that seemed to pass through their skin. Dropping his hand abruptly, her brown eyes wide in surprise, Bella stepped back. Without volition, Bella felt her face flame with another cursed blush. Damn, she was 26 years old. When was she going to stop blushing like a schoolgirl?

Cliff hangers love them! Looking forward to the next instalment. This is my first review of your story - like how you woven in Twilightisms and your take on Bella and Edwards flawed loverable characters.

Thank you. x

Author's Response:

thank you so much for reviewing!! I HATE cliff hangers - I am always tempted to carry on... I couldn't stop writing after I ended the last chapter and so I am about half way through the next one!

Loved the Christmas with the Cullens. Limits on cost of present or having home made are the best. Charlie's picture I teared up, a real gift. Christmas Traditions and family traditions can be wonderful as long as they are safe sane and consensual. My Dad always has to have all the Christmas decorations up the first weekend in December = he's a bit like Emmett.

loved this chapter the transition from christmas, the interview, private presents and the training session. It has left me wondering about Jamie and Jeff. edward and bella have both learned a lot this chapter and i look forward to reading where it takes them.

thank you.

Author's Response:

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

You are far too generous with those complements. Don't worry about Jaimie and Jeff (although we may meet Jeff at fashion week....family road trip???) thinking about it - don't tell anyone

Bella Swan gets a job as a personal assistant to the "The Sexiest Man Alive" Edward Masen while attending USC. Sparks fly between her much older boss and her, but they soon find that temptation is too hard to fight.

It's a coming of age story with Bella, who learns to embrace herself as well as the life she's found herself thrown into, and a little Britward on the side.

This is the story of young Domme Isabella who is looking for a new sub. Her old master Carlisle was the one to introduce her to the BDSM-community of Chicago and he is also helping her find a new sub to train.

On her way to meeting her new sub, she thinks back on her last ten years in the BDSM community and relieves some very hot moments from her life both as a sub and Domme.

At the same time we meet Edward, strong and confident boss of his own firm until the day he discovers a hidden submissive side of himself. We follow him on his journey and maybe one day Domme Isabella and submissive Edward will meet?

Strong content and lots of lemons, be warned!

This is not a BDSM-how-to, so please just read it as the smutty fanfic it is ment to be, thanks! Always wear a condom and take good care of yourself, Edward would!

We alone, a little flock,The few who still remain,Are exiles wandering through the landIn sorrow and in pain...We wander in the forests dark,With dogs upon our track;And like the captive, silent lambMen bring us, prisoners, back.They point to us, amid the throng,And with their taunts offend,And long to let the sharpened axOn heretics descend

Two lost souls trying to figure out where they belong, collide. What happens when Isabella wants out of the plain life she leads that Edward wants to be accepted into? Will Edward face what he is running from to leave with Bella? Or will Bella surrender and embrace her culture?

Sequel to Lustful Awakings. When Bella wakes up from her coma with no memory of her life with Edward, Jasper, and Alice, will they be able to help her remember? Will she still want them if she does remember? Same pairings as in LA. NC-17

Bella is a student at UW who lives a routine, struggled life, but that changes when she meets Edward Cullen,CEO of his Company. How exactly do they meet? What happens when their lifes collide? Does Bella uncover Edwards darkest secrets or does Edward learn Bellas hidden truths first. D/S Material

Edward, homeless since age twelve is used to the gritty, hard life. Now twenty, his main goal is to make it in the world, and off the streets. What happens when a girl who seems to be broken beyond repair becomes his new shadow, and needs help more than he can possibly know?

Bella Swan is in for the shock of her life when Edward Cullen comes back into her life 7 years after graduation. Can the scars from her past be healed by the reclusive musician or will she shut him out like she has everyone else since the fateful accident four years ago.

Bella Swan hasn't seen her boys, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward Cullen, in over thirteen years. Just when they find each other again, an outside threat nearly tears them apart. B/E, A/J,R/EM. NC-17 for lemons and language.

Kidnapped into slavery, Edward tries his best to work diligently in order to avoid punishment and keep his wife safe. Nothing about his life is his own, not even the intimacy between him and his Bella... and she, too, could be taken away at any time. What happens when he has no choice but to make a big 'mistake'? What will the punishment be? Will it break him? Inspired by the song 'Uprising' by Muse (which I think has a stupid video).

Contains adult situations and language; please do not read if you are under 18.

Bella falls pregnant by a womanizing Edward and he wants nothing to do with her or the baby. At least he doesn't think he does, but actions speak louder than words. A story about the beauty and pain of love.

Thank you so much for your review! For those of you who are new to the story, I update every Friday and post teasers on Mondays. The latest teases are up on the Blog (http://kitsushel.blogspot.com/) as we speak. I know everyone's excited about Edward finally showing up! I am too, lol!

"I could have left him at that police station and let the damn state take care of it, but I didn't. I stood up and chose to do it. I had to make difficult decisions on a daily basis. Things that I shouldn't have had to worry about, but I did. Because I loved him. For the past five goddamned years, I've loved him and I've made sure that he was fed and clothed and taken care of. I made sure that he had to best education that I could afford and that he knew that he was loved. I've bled, sweat and cried over this child. So screw you, Mr. Cullen, and the horse you rode in on," she seethed in fury.

"Wait, you're staying in his house instead of the hotel? Bella, is that really safe? I mean, I know you want to make everyone happy, but you've gotta think about your own safely, seriously!" Alice chastised.

"Calm down, woman. It's his parents house, which is enormous and beautiful. I figured it would be fine, since I was calling you and Dad to let you know where I would be. Just in case you needed somewhere to start looking for the body."

"Bella, do not joke about this! I am going on record as saying that I completely disagree with this decision."

Thank you so much for your review! Just in case you're unaware, the story updates every Friday and I post teasers on Mondays; the latest teases are up on the Parachute Blog as we speak!

The pair got lost in each other's eyes until they were interrupted by the pounding of feet on steps.

Jack skidded to a halt in the hallway at the top of the stairs. He looked between his parents curiously, not quite sure what to make of them standing so close to each other. He walked over to his mother's side and looked up at his father.

"Is everything okay here, Mom?" he asked Bella, while never taking his eyes off of Edward.

Bella suppressed a giggle at Jack's attempt at bravado. She placed a hand on her son's shoulder, which caused him to look up at her. She smiled at him and nodded.

What a fun chapter - I wonder about Em and what a cliffy with J. Keep up the good writing .

Bella sat down next to Edward on one of the front porch swings. She turned and leaned her back against the side, pulling her right leg up and underneath of her. He turned his head slightly and smirked at her.

"How does it feel to be an old man?" she asked, trying to hide her smile.

He smiled widely and shook his head. "I'm not old."

Bella laughed and shook her head. She noticed that his smile fell as he stared off into the sunset. She nudged him with her foot and he turned to give her a small, sad smile.

"In my mind, I feel like I'm still 22," he sighed. "I haven't really celebrated a birthday in almost five years."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Cullen," a beautiful brunette with ice blue eyes simpered, as she stood from her seat behind a large desk. "I was told you wouldn't be in the office for a few weeks."

Bella quirked an eyebrow at the girl's blatant flirtatiousness. She looked over at Edward and noticed that his posture immediately straightened and his voice took on a cooler tone.

"Gianna," he nodded to the woman. "I'm only stopping by to grab a few things and to show my family around a little bit."Bella's eyes cut to his face, surprised to have herself included in that statement. He smiled gently at her before leading her and Jack towards the large corner office.

"Family?" Gianna asked, confused. She didn't spare Bella a second glance, but her jaw dropped as soon as she got a good look at Jack. "Oh my God," she whispered and sat down quickly. As soon as Edward's door closed behind them, she picked up her phone and dialed.

Wow Victoria and James - great chapter looking forward to the next. Loving this Tanya.

Tanya sighed. "What happened after we left last night?"

Emmett's lips quirked, trying to fight a smile. "Mom sucker punched Victoria when she started running her mouth again."

"Esme!" Bella gasped and glanced at Esme, who looked proud of herself.

"What? She deserved it. I only regret not doing it sooner."

Bella shook her head and tried to hide her giddy smile at the thought of Victoria spread out on the ballroom floor.

I haven't reviewed in a while. Each chapter i would say the same thing. I love it. I look forward to each new chapter and they never disapoint. Thank you.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for reviewing! The Monday teasers are up on the Blog. (kitsushel.blogspot.com) It ties in with this one nicely.

Voting for the Original Character Awards ends today! We're up for Most Original Plot as well as Jack for Best Offspring and Best Male! It's going to be super tough!

Make sure you leave your pitchforks at the door before reading the teaser! This chapter's drama skyrockets, but I think it's necessary to complete our journey and it's the way that I've always pictured it heading.

Bella pocketed her iPhone and her hands curled into fists. The anger that she had experienced minutes earlier paled in comparison to the rage that coursed through her. The proof that James was a part of Jack's abandonment was black and white in front of her face. She fully planned on marching back into that office and tearing a new asshole into anyone who dared to get in her way. When the elevator reached the final floor, she was alone.

The doors opened and before she could step out, she found herself once again face to face with James Brooks. His eye widened in shock and her fist flew without thought. He swiftly caught her hand and pushed her back into the elevator with his body weight. "

What the hell are you doing?" he hissed angrily.

"You- you-" she stuttered. "You piece of shit! I'm not leaving here until I talk to Edward. I know who you are and what you did to Jack. You're a miserable excuse for a human being!" she shouted in her fury.

Quicker than she could blink, one of his forearms was pressed against her throat menacingly while the other hand gripped her by the hair.

"You couldn't just leave, could you?" he ground out. "No, you had to be Miss High-And-Mighty. From the first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you'd be a challenge."

bella is a naive girl. she thinks nothing can happen to her, she thinks she will find the perfect man, have an okay job, struggle alittle, than have kids and settle down.

how wrong she was. she meets this boy who is perfect, or so she thinks. one thing leads to another and bella is stuck in a world she can not nor ever get out of. she tries but in the end she is always for ever his.

nc-17 for rape, lemons, killing, drugs,etc.

Author's Response:

Thanks for leaving a review… here’s a teaser for you…lml

After checking the front door - out of habit - and closing the blinds in the living room, we were back in my room, naked sitting on the bed talking. He asked about birth control.

“I’m not on anything. There was no reason for it.” Edward tilted his head to the side. “I figure you weren’t unless you had some medical condition. I mean you haven’t had sex in what...How many years?” He grinned mischievously.

“I’ve had sex.” I stated mater-of-factly. His face was full of confusion “But you said you haven’t been with a man in a long time.”

“I haven’t” His eyebrows raised “A woman?”

“No!” Now he was really confused, he looked around the room, eyeing my night stand. “Oh...self-induced sex. What do you have in here Isabella?” His hand was heading for said night stand.

Eighteen year old Bella Swan has moved to the small Western town of Spoons Valley to meet up with her older brother, Emmet, after their parents' deaths. She always figured that the Wild West that she read about would be like the descriptions in Harper's Weekly, but she didn't realize just how wild and dangerous things would get once she arrived.

Hi I've read straight to here, loved the epilogue 10/10. Can see how everyone fits - is Ben going to be the obnoxious Vicar. Kissing her - would never happen, too soon. Looking forward to your changes from Twilight and P&P to D&D.

Author's Response:

Thank you! The vicar will be another obnoxious fellow :) Hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

Will one special vampire heal her wounds as she struggles to live a life amongst vampires? Edward and Bella pairing, AU, OOC

What a full chapter - loved it - What a horrid blood bank. Twice a month seems a lot - what does nine vials equate to?

Author's Response:

Thank you =)

I did a little research for the chapter.lol There are different sizes of blood vials. There's 5ml, 7ml, 10ml and even 15ml. There may be larger ones but I'm not sure. For this story, I'd use the 15ml vial so that's about ml 135 of blood.

Just read all the chapters again. Love it. James and Tanya deserve each other. I wonder about the pills, effect of all the donation on Bella's body, the way things are going she'll not make old bones. The impact Bella and Edward's mating will have on the wider community human and vampire. Looking forward to your next installment.

Author's Response:

Thank you =) I'm happy that you are enjoying this story. Carlisle's concern about the pills is coming up, just finished that part actually. lol And you'll find out soon what the vamp community thinks about Edward and Bella. There's so much to cover, it's exhausting. lol

Thank you for reading and commenting. I'll have the next chapter finished soon.
